After installing ghostscript-afpl 8.15, I've been trying and trying to get printing with cups working, with no success for days, forcing me to revert to ghostscript 7.07* (the ESP version). On every print job, I simply see "No pages found!" in the cups error log. But I just found the problem with 8.15 -- the pstoraster script, which is copied from the cups distribution, doesn't work with 8.15 as is. To get it working, just add a "-" at the end of the line in the script which calls gs! Printing now works fine! BTW, I also note that the pstoraster script in ESP's SVN repository reflects some more complex changes, but among them is a change which effectively does just this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I've had the same problem and your fix works, but now I have another problem: The first few lines "are skipped" and not printed?? I would appreciate any hint...
where do i have to add what? ;) maybe you can provide a patch
Created attachment 60782 [details, diff] patch for pstoraster (adds hyphen to end of gs command line) It's been a while since I made the change, and I'm not entirely sure where pstoraster lives and should be patched during installation, but I believe this patch covers the change.
Fixed with 8.53
